Crispy Roasted Sugar Snap Peas

Crispy Roasted Sugar Snap Peas, fresh, healthy, delicious and quick to make. These peas are not shelled but roasted whole in the pod until tender and crispy.

I have always enjoyed eating sugar snap peas served on a vegetable tray, but I must say, my new favorite way to eat them is roasting them!

They are incredible.

In fact, I am enjoying the flavor profile of so many roasted vegetables these days. Toss them with olive oil and season them with your favorite seasoning except for the salt, and you can't get any easier than that for a quick side dish.

One secret I want to share with you is from my Mother who shared with me many years ago. It is how to have tender, succulent vegetables when frying or roasting them.

When you salt the vegetables before frying or roasting them, they release all or most of the moisture in them while cooking. This can cause them to be dry and chewy.

She did not salt the vegetables she fried or roasted much or even at all before cooking them. I too have used this little secret for many years.

Immediately after the vegetables are cooked, generously salt them then. So much flavor pops when you use this method.

I also use this method every time I fry okra. The okra is tender and succulent. I can never resist picking up a piece after piece when I'm trying to get supper on the table....yes, I have to force myself.

That is how it is with these roasted sugar snap peas....mmmm soo good!
